After watching this on our Televisions screens it seemed appropriate to visit this site when in Tasmania in October 2022. A very moving display and Centre to visit and would recommend it to anyone visiting the area that was familiar with the disaster. There is quite a lot to see, so give yourself plenty of time to check everything out. The staff were also very friendly and happy to answer questions and share information.

Four of us were travelling around Tasmania from the mainland. We were in two minds whether to do the Beaconsfield Mine Museum whilst travelling through the Tamar Valley. You can only visit so many museums! So pleased we did and would all rate it in the top 5 things we did in Tasmania. It was so well presented and informative and well worth the entry fee. It also has a great gift shop if you are looking for souvenirs. We would highly recommend visiting this attraction.

Visited today and was impressed how well set up the displays are particularly of the tragedy that happened in 2006. The museum was interesting and well laid out. It was a self guided tour and the map was helpful. Reasonable priced gifts in the shop

Amazing museum that covers the miraculous escape of the two miners trapped after the Anzac day mine collapse in 2006. The old mine ruins and equipment spectacular. Can easily spend 2 hours here soaking up all the information and gold mining history. Well worth a visit as a break from winery trips.

This is 1 of the best exhibit and display's of the life and times of the Gold Miners of Tasmania. While the mine is very well known for the 2 miners trapped in April, 2006 who were rescued and has focus on that event, the exhibits are also very well constructed to show the history of the mine itself and the Town's surrounding this Mine site. Well worth a visit for the history of the surrounds, and of that tragic Mine collapse.

A very interesting tour of the site of the mine collapse. Seeing the space where the two miners were trapped and a first hand description of proceedings and the rescue. A museum onsite was also very interesting of life yesteryear.

You could be forgiven for thinking this museum is dedicated to the mine rescue of 2006, but it is so much more than that. It offers an excellent insight into both the early and modern life of miners and the industry that employs them. There are some awesome examples of machinery and telephony on display and you can walk through the ruins of an earlier collapsed shaft amongst the extensive outdoor exhibits. A very good gift shop with pleasant and helpful staff added to an enjoyable experience. Well worth two or more hours of your time.

Facinating and the most interactive museum I have seen. My kids (6 + 9) loved talking on the old telephone and making them ring. It was hard to encourage them to move past the first exhibit because they were so engaged but the rest of the exhibits were equally fun and interesting.

This historical site is well worth the $$ paid to enter . Bought back a lot of memories of the mining disaster/rescue we all saw and watched all those years ago. Whilst I found it extremely rewarding to see all the ruins and way of life for the miners and the mining community I also found it very emotional at the same time .

Wow, this place was great. There is so much to look at. If you've got kids, there are a lot of interactive thing for them to do, like pressing a button to make the water wheel work. It was even exciting for the big kids to set it going. Really enjoyed our time here as it's really well done.
